OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that the presence in the rectum of an endorectal ultrasound probe during transrectal voiding ultrasonography (TRVUS) would have no significant effect on uroflowmetry parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied 43 randomly selected men undergoing TRVUS of the prostate for non-neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms. Uroflowmetry ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare prostate volume measured by transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) between transaxial scanning and midsagittal scanning. We tried to determine which method is superior. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 968 patients who underwent TRUS for diagnosis of any diseases related to the prostate were included in this study. When measuring prostate volume by...

AIM We compared the weight of the prostate specimen extracted after radical prostatectomy with preoperatively estimated weights of the prostate by different imaging techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prostate weights were estimated by transabdominal ultrasonography (TAUS), transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS), and computed tomography (CT) preoperatively before radical prostatectomy. Prostatectom...

The objective of this study was to evaluate if transrectal optical tomography implemented at three wavelength bands for spectral detection could monitor changes of the hemoglobin oxygen saturation (StO2) in addition to those of the total hemoglobin concentration ([HbT]) in lesions of a canine prostate, including an induced tumor modeling canine prostate cancer. Near-infrared (NIR) optical tomog...

This study aimed to determine the effects of different lengths progesterone and equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) treatment on reproductive performance during non-breeding season in ewes. Progesterone-impregnated sponges were inserted intravaginally for 7 d Group 1 (G1, n = 24), 9 2 (G2, 25), 11 3 (G3, 24). On day sponge removal, eCG (350 IU) was injected 24 h later ewes exposed rams. Pregnan...

Objective: To evaluate the role of prostatic ultrasonography in predicting clinical outcomes bipolar transurethral resection prostate.Method: The prospective study was conducted at Urology Department, Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, Cairo, Egypt from December 2018 to June 2019, and comprised male patients complaining lower urinary tract symptoms due benign hyperplasia. were subjected pelvi-ab...

OBJECTIVES To report a technique of lateral pedicle control during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy that completely eliminates any form of electrocautery, ultrasonic thermal energy, clips, or bioadhesives. METHODS The technique was used in 25 men undergoing nerve-sparing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Our antegrade technique involves transient control of the lateral prostate pedicles w...

OBJECTIVES To compare the frequency of infection after transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided biopsy of the prostate (TRUSBP) using prophylactic ciprofloxacin with or without adding cefuroxime. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between June 2008 and October 2009, 205 consecutive patients had TRUSBP with the use of oral 500 mg ciprofloxacin twice per day, 2 days before and 3 days after the biopsy (defin...

The rectal cancer management can be influenced by the surgeon's practice and the hospital. This study was to evaluate the differences according to the surgeon's operative volume and the level of the hospital. Questionnaires were sent out to the members of the 'Korean Society of Coloproctology', and the responses were evaluated according to the surgeon's operation volume, the surgeon's age, and ...

PURPOSE Imaging plays a crucial role in ablative therapies for prostate cancer (PCa). Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a new treatment modality used for focal treatment of PCa. We aimed to demonstrate what imaging modalities can be used by descriptively reporting contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), and grey-scale transrectal ultraso...
